* in the recorded version of the song, he's "lonesome for love", but in an
acoustic demo I've heard he's "lonesome for home". I much prefer the
"lonesome for home" bit but, hey, Cheap Trick always had the corniest
lyrics. Still do. I wouldn't like them so much if they didn't. :)
b**ch to learn, b**ch to tab, but well worth it.
-I'm here I'm queer, I play 5-string bass
